Surveillance camera hallucinates face in the snow, won't shut up about it


A beauty from last February: Kyle McDonald tweeted redacted social media screenshots from a surveillance camera owner that emitted a steady stream of alerts because it saw a face in the garden — a face that was just a random assortment of grime and snow that only vaguely resembled a face, but still triggered the facial recognition algorithm. In the end, the only way to shut up the camera was to stomp around in the snow until the "face" was erased.
